apce. On the contrary, several members
have given the subject great deal of at
tention and with, We doubt not, the
best intentions. There have been
numerous attempts at tinkering
the existing law, and bills look
ing to an entirely new law, and we sup
pose that before adjournment some
changes will be effected In the present
law. But out of all the propositions
THE GAZETTE has read on the subject
there does not seem to be one that will
fill the bill in a general way, however val
liable locally or specially. 1t Is diff
cult, complex problem, because of the d.
verse needs and views in the various
counties in the state. A measure or sys-
tenn that will suffice for one county does
not meet the emergency IN another. An
Eastern Texas county has view on the
subject-shaped by Its needs, of course
that is totally at variance with the views
and therefore the needs in a Western
IeXas or prairie county. fernaps, aller
all, the true solution of this road ques-
tion will De found, as some legislators
have suggested, in the passage OF
law that will be flexible and
suited to local needs, its features
and workings to be matter of local op-
ton, as The people of this or that county
may determine. The suggestion is not
without merit, and under certain general
limitations, sufficient to preserve the
autonomy of road law. Such system
might prove of great use and benefit to
the people certainly of more value than
they can hope for from the present system
or any OF the proposed substitutes there

WESTERN SUFFERING.

The following letter, clipped from the
Paris News, patheticelly tells the story OF
restitution in the west and pleads elo-
quently in its simple pathos for aid from
those who have been spared such priva-
tions. There is scarcelya household that
cannot contribute something of its store.
in the way of outgrown children's clothes,
8 few yards of calico or domestic to aid
the destitute, and Rev. Mr.. Crist OF this
city has volunteered to take charge of any
such contributions. Nothing, however,
can be done without organized effort, and
the Ladies' Aid societies of the various
churches might find good work for the
next week by united action in forming
CON mittees whose duty shall be to
visit every ward of the town and per-
sonally solicit and receive all contrlbu-
tions for the sufferers in the western
counties. The suggestion will doubtless
be sufficient, as the women of Fort Worth
are never found lacking in any good
work

sick. They had no change OfScothes and had
been lying there twelve days without change.
May God bless the ladies that sent the under

how thankfully they were received you would
be repaid for all your trouble. The cloth

The people hoped that those aspiring
to fill Judge Reagan's place would make
d thorough canvass of the district, but
this decision of Governor Ross precludes
the possibility. Under the Governors die

Sawyer's suggestion is adopted by Chair

precinct convention, twenty days before

WAR DECLARED ON THE PRESE

An esteemed contempora~y down in Nc

temporary has fought the good fight for
Mr.. Cleveland through good and i'll re-
pute - it has borne patiently with his
views on civil service reform and silver
coinage-it could even condone his veto

it learned that he allowed a "coal
black nigger' to escort Mrs. Cleveland
to the dining table st a state dinner given
the diplomatic corps recently, then the
Monitor parted company with Grover,
and as Democratic journal it washes its
hands of this "so-called Democratic
President" We republish the Monitors
article in another column, and it is GER
tainly interesting reading matter. But

BILE to do so, and sollcitous for the good
name of the administration, which we de-
sire to see in high repute with its Demo-
cratic constituents, ventures TO icterpose

McLennan county to pause and listen a
moment before it passes final Judgment
on Democratic President. tits no doubt

recent state dinner when Mr.. Cleveland
had the ministers of other countries to

dinner table. 1t was right and proper he
should do so, as by official rules, being
the longest in service of any minister

the diplomatic corps, taking precedence
in social matters, but purely for the reason
above stated, which is 3 personal compli-

his whole life in Hayti. The Hsys
tan government selected him for the
position on account of his high personal
standing and general Ltness for the place
and pays him a good salary for his
services. He is universally respected aad
esteemed at Washington. We do not ssos

a great many years. May we not hope
that with this explanation ,ourfesteemed

another chance? He is 8 pretty good

the Republican rascals about as fast as he

THE striking South Boston Railway
employees publicly complimented the Bos-
ton Herald for the fair and impartial
manner in which it has presented the
various phases of the tie-up. What the
workingmen should ask of the newspa-
pers is that they tell the truth. They
should want no mean fattery or praise
bestowed with view of gratifying their
vanity or gaining their favor. Any cause
that is worthy of success can afford to
have the truth toll about it; 1t can stand
criticism and its success is fastened by
honest discussion. Workingmen are
foolish to talk about boycotting news
paper because it has had the courage to
criticize some of their methods. When q
newspaper refuses to tell the truth in It's
news columns it may well be 1oycotted
by workingmen, capitslists-everybody;
but the newspaper that has the courage
of its convictions should be encouraged.
All any intelligent, manly workingman or
any other man should want, is the truth,
and newspapers should try to give all
people the truth whether they are pleased
with it or not,

THE promptness of Fort Worth in sub

city three months ago by DR.. T. S. Ford

Of his (Ford's) wife, and the sentence of

can furnish a road law that will be an
improvement on the existing one, will de-
serve well Of the people. They will rise
up ana call him blessed" Over forty
days of the session have gone by and the
man with the improved road law hasn't
put in appearance yet. He has been
heard of, several times, and may straegle
in at the eleventh hour, but he hasn't
come yet, and so there is nobody to call
blessed-that is: in connection with
new and improved road law. OF course
it must not be understood from these re-
marks that the Legislature has ignored or

REAGAN'S SUCCESSOR.
The Election to Come Off Thirty Days After
the Adjournment of Congress.

Special to the Gazette.
PALESTINE, T X, Feb. 22.-It was sup
posed that the election to fill the vacancy,
caused by Reagan's resignation, would
not be ordered until after the Legislature
adjourned, and that in the absence of
some legislative requirements Governor
Ross within his discretion would not
issue proclamation ordering said cleo
ton to be held prior to July. Such was
the general understanding. Il now ap-
pears that the law was not well settled,
and upon sugg, stion Hon. John Young
Gooch of this city yesterday telegraphed
Governor Ross enquiring whether lne~the
absence of further legislative action
an election would be ordered to DE held
prior to July. At p. m. to-day he m
ceived the following reply from Governor
Ross:
"Under my view of the law controlling
the election of representatives to Con-
gress, the election in your district to fill
the vacancy cause by the resignation of
the Hon. John II. Reagan from the Fiji
tieth Congress, will be held thirty days

CHICAGO, ILL, Feb. 22.-The Times
says important new evidence in the
anarchist cases has been discovered and
affidavits have been made, which go to
show that the two men whom Thompson

simultaneously with the explosion of the
fatal bomb ard who were supposed to be
Spies and Schwab, were in reality Carl
and Otto Anderlee. Carl has been ar
rested at Dresden, SaXony. Carl and
Otto were brothers or cousins and admit
ted that they were at the Haymarket and
at the mouth of the alley when the bomb
was thrown. Both were aYoWed
anarchists. They always bitterly de-
nounced the police to their comrades at
Pullman where they worked and said
they were ready to do anything to get at
them. Emanuel Erstnsn, who worked
in the same shop with Otto and Carl, said
they cl sely resembed Spies and Schwab,
and could by the light of a street lamp be
easily taken for them. After the Hay
market riot Erstman said Carl frequently
said he had seen the bomb thrown and
knew who threw it, but when the trial
came on Carl had fed. Otto disappeared
